THE PARABLE OF THE RICH MAN & LAZARUS

Bible Reference:         Luke 16:19-31

Golden Verse :

"If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead."   Luke 16:31   Lesson Aim: 1. Caring for the poor
2. Wealth or poverty by themselves don't lead to the Kingdom of God.
3.  Do not delay repentance
  Lesson Notes:
  • Lazarus means My God, My helper.
  • The richman represents the Jews who received the wealth of the word of God; Lazarus represents the Gentiles.

  • Notice that Lazarus was humble, patient, and didn't complain while the richman was proud, didn't care about the poor, and didn't even think about the kingdom of God.
